BE ORIGINAL - Confused Arunachal

                 Today’s Arunachal Pradesh is so much confused, the language she speaks, the cuisine she eats, the wardrobes she wears, everything. Literally everything. Many of them called it as developing or progressing and many are divided into happy and not happy about it while others have no idea what is going on!

                Firstly we are so much bollywoodised; the Indian television has drastically changed us to good as well as bad. In the early ’90s, every parent wanted their children to ‘talk Hindi, walk Hindi’ and by mid-’90s another generation of parents wanted their Children to ‘talk English, walk English’. By the end 90’s or early 20’s the mid-generation caught up with koreanisation. The K-Pop Culture. These too with the pirated Korean films at the dumped old shops with music boxes and Hollywood films all pirated, they didn’t even spare Bollywood or say anything that is/was motion picture.

The process of learning through Bollywood is so cursive that you will find people trying to speak in the Punjabi accent, Delhite Hindi or even what they call Tapori, the street language of Mumbai resented by many but widely imitated by many as humorous and comical. People who have lived or studied in central India or mainland India flaunt with their mixed Hindi accent of UP, Bihari, Delhite, Punjabi etc. Whereas the larger population of the Arunachal Pradesh have caught up Hindi speaking through the Television. The Television with Bollywood has had so much inscribed into the veins of people here that today Arunachal People are best Hindi Speaker in North Eastern India.

Wait. Just a minute. Did I just mention ‘Best Hindi Speakers’? Nah! Ours is a Hindi without any grammars. We have grammatically deprived Hindi speakers. And some of us already boosts we should promote “Arunachali Hindi” we have rappers, singers as well as movies in so-called ‘Arunachali Hindi’. So here is a lame argument - ‘ There is no problem in doing so, the language should pass and must be understood by the common people as well state Arunachal Pradesh itself is so multi-diverse state, that you will find different dialect with different accent every 30mtrs you walk in the state’ as well creativity has no boundaries.

               Now the problem is - we are heading towards extinction. As plain as that; Leave the data provided by the UNESCO. We are witnessing it ourselves every day with every generation.  More than half of the young population is shamelessly trying to show off with their blatantly wrong Spoken Hindi and English through different mediums. Whereas the developed side of the world’s society through their organizations, NGOs, missionaries, even foreigner came, still comes to learn our Language, our dialect and they are working hard to protect and preserve it while we still bastion on the Hindi and English.

                 It’s high time  Arunachal Pradesh wakes up. Through observation, Television is the best platform to mend this pain point in keeping our local dialect intact. The Local Filmmakers, Local Artist including singers, rappers, writers must feel their responsibilities. Remember ‘originality always remains the best’. You got the best and greatest medium to promote local dialects through your films and songs. Universities need a more focussed group. Mere research just for the thesis may fetch you a degree but if it is not useful for the society then it has no value. Therefore Researchers needs to uphill in this field and bring out some revolutionary mechanism to preserve and promote the dying dialects. Don’t let us extinct.

                 Before we or our coming generation just read and study, about our dialects, our culture in gunged Museums or a textbook. We strap our boots. Make it our responsibility by speaking our own dialects at home, with friends and start teaching our younger ones. Let us start making videos, films, and write songs, on our dialects and keep alive our mother tongue spoken by our great grandparents and let not our dialect die.

 Let us BE ORIGINAL

 

Arunachal Pradesh In Need Of Leaders Not Politicians.

                   The State assembly elections are just around the corner. There are numerous people organizing big launching events to declare their candidature for the Member of Legislative Assembly in the State. The laymen are confused and even the candidates themselves are confused. A glaring example is the majority of candidates declaring themselves are seemingly BJP candidates and interestingly the constituency’s sitting legislature is also BJP MLA. The Banners they put on consist of all rank and files of party bosses with their signature pose of holding hands at the center with a large front. Some of them went to an extend wearing saffron cloths to match to their party bosses clothing. The state youths including the student representative of socially mandated social forums are trumpeting their own candidates, whereas this handful of youths become strong critics of the party from where their candidate is begging for the party ticket. Especially with the issue of PRC and CAB. The youths of the state seems like BJP should not come to power in the state. But these confused social media warriors seem to be a hypocrite when they support a candidate of the Party whom they condemn tooth and nail in the social media and in peer groups. Actually like the Politicians of the State, these groups of young minds are also confused with their ideologies or have got no ideology. They speak, write or criticize when they see people around doing so. It is not by their own thoughts or conviction of ideas or ideology. Bottom line is Arunachal Pradesh and its people flows with the flow. It doesn’t resist actually.

                      Nevertheless, India is the largest democratic country and to add on it Arunachal is a land of Khusi-Khusi, Your honour has nothing to say on this. On a serious note, Arunachal today needs a “Leader”, not a “Politician”. As I say this, I know your eyebrows will be frown and this time every son of the soil is a political Pandit in the state. So you will have your own definition that will suit well to your politician as a true leader. I don’t care what you define or how you define.

One of the greatest leader and anti-apartheid Icon Nelson Mandela said the following quotes about leadership.

“Real Leaders must be able to sacrifice all for the freedom of their people”

No matter what your personal thoughts are of Nelson Mandela, I think the overall feeling we can all agree upon is that he left a grand legacy of Leadership. In saying so we really need great leaders in our area, a leader who can sacrifice and be an inspiration for all his people.

In the journey of this democratic process of electing our lead man, many have come and many have gone and at large we have witnessed a lot of political drama in the state. Therefore through my observations, I make three Categories of Pseudo Leaders. Though politicians of our state aren’t attached to a party because of their ideologies, there are worse people present in our system wooing for MLA.

 They are

     1. Who dropped/ will drop their candidature if ruling party ticket is not given: To be clear this group of  People aren’t leaders, they are the ‘Politicians’, they are an opportunist, hypocrite pseudo leaders who will leave their foot soldiers in the midst of the Election. In this 2019 assembly elections, it will be interesting to watch how many of the declaring candidates will drop if he/she will not get BJP ticket. All their trumpeting speeches will be forgotten by the public too.            2.  Who declares candidate for a bargaining point, this category of Politicians knows that he/she will never be elected but has got clan/villages with him. This is neither because of their sheer dire to serve the people nor are they serious of their candidature. This is just in case he can bargain or compromise with anyone more powerful than him in terms of financial superiority.

       3. Third categories are politicians who actually don’t aim to be MLA, they along with category 2 aims for Chairman of a Department. Their point of compromise comes to the post of  Chairman/Chairperson.     

                        Your's truely would give a statutory notice that many of present sitting Chairman/Chairpersons of various government enterprises/departments were once an MLA aspirant and not all, I repeat that not all of them, were MLA aspirant. The Supporters of various leaders have come up with their own justifications to prove that their candidate as true leaders, well that’s great of a worker.

               But the truth is: this is how we support candidates and paint them true leaders.

For us                                

1. A tender  must be given to any of my family members: he is a true leader

2. A job that too regular/ WC (remember in Govt.  Department) must be given to any of my family members: he is a true leader.

3. I must be given importance at all levels, (attend me whenever I call or whenever I come etc): he is a true leader

                Anyone who has got no ‘personal favor’ from an MLA is sure to go against him/her. Especially a group of people who calls themselves as ‘intellectual’ or ‘elite’. God knows what makes them that class.  Majority of our Politicians neither have ideology nor does the voters. We don’t go by ‘issue-based’ politics, we go by clannish, and regionalism based politics. We don’t elect leaders, we elect politicians. And to all those class of intellectuals and elite, please make sure you elect a leader, not a politician

           An opportunist, only a ruling party ticket seeker, and an irresponsible leader is a Politician, and a person who is responsible for his people, for his community and a very responsible Politician is a true leader.

Hopefully, Arunachal Pradesh will get true leaders this 2019, whose leadership will serve this motherland and make it prosperous in all front.

Demonetisation,political Parties and their Funding

On November 8 2016, PM Narender Modi Announced scrapping of Rs 500,Rs 1,000 Notes to Curb Black Money. The step had resulted in deaths of more than 100 people,closure of several Industries and chaos into the lives of Common People. (Forbes.com(8th Dec.2016).

But When it comes to Political parties curbing flow of Black Money in the system,The Hypocrisy is clearly Visible, Finance Minister, says Political parties can deposit as many old Note of Rs 500, Rs 1,000 in their Official Account,That too without Tax (Forbes.com (17th Dec.2016).

When Public questioned This,Finance Minister Mr. Arun Jaitley gave incomplete information stating that Political Parties can deposit Old Notes but under scrutiny (IBtimes).

What he didn't mention was that under existing Laws, Parties dont have to provide any details of Income Source if the money donated is less than Rs 20,000 (hindustandtimes).

With this loopholes They just have to claim that they got all their money from thousands of Donors (timesofindia)

For example, if a political Party deposits Rs 1 Crore in their Account. they can tell The IT Dept. That they received Rs 20,000 From 500 donors. (Wire.in)

No names

No addresses

 No PAN Numbers

 Are required to be shown for such donations(Wire.in)

While Political parties Talk about Curbing Black Money, they Forget to mention the Black Money Which funds their Campaigns.

The Common Man is suffering on the Pretext of the Betterment of The NATION and the political Parties are hiding behind Constitutional loopholes.

Are we ready to demand accountability from Political parties irrespective of the Political Party we support?

or shall we only always write asking Dear political parties,Why don't you explain your sources of fund like a common Man?

The great India parliament Circus

                         

Now a mere order for personal appearance in court has all the legal eagles of congress hyperventilating in public, making insinuations of political vendetta.

Nation had witnessed when a single judge of the Allahabad High court had indicted Indira. Then as the story goes, she went by the personal advisor of Siddhartha Shankar-more a friend than a lawyer- waking up the president late at night to sign on the dotted line of the emergency ordinance. Congress did have legal luminaries even then, but none came out howling on Allahabad high court judgement, nor did MPs create Pandemonium in parliament.

The disturbance in the already fragile fate of the winter session only points towards a guilt and fear of exposure. If the Gandhi’s and the star lawyers in congress fold are so supremely confident of their case, why should they be afraid of going through the due process of law.

The whole Saas- Bahu and the congress reveals an imperialist mindset of a dynastic that considers itself to be the natural ruler of this country, So anything from the land grab against the son-in-law to misappropriation of trusts funds is turned on its head by a single point counter-accusation of political vengeance.

Nation has seen Narender Modi faced trials-albeit with the best of legal defence anyone is entitled to- and come out acquitted. Nor did he bypass the judiciary to get even with his political adversaries.

Therefore it would be right to suggest that this entire drama is a ploy to detract the efforts for getting the GST Bill passed.

The fate of democracy in India needs a serious ponder whether it’s safe in the hands of a democratically chai-wallah who graduated to wear a monogrammed suits or a woman who has devolved form sable coats to cotton sarees, but whose natural upbringing makes her coded genetically to fiercely protect her family perhaps.

Young and Free Ambassadors (An anecdote)

A wonderful journey of nine students in organising an event that of a national level. The plan just cropped up in the chief Mind. He gathers a group, of five boys and then four girls. All of them were assigned with a department.

After the division of team members all of them waited for the term exams to be over and the day it got over. They tuned themselves for this journey. A work never that they had done before. A work that was an illusion till today for them. To organise an event that would cater student communities of all northern states. The teams motive was to showcase the rich cultural and Tourism beauty of their mother state Arunachal Pradesh through this fest at her birthday.
At the heat of racial discrimination they had set out to let people come, know and learn the people of Arunachal Pradesh. They worked hard day out. But after-all finance was the backbone and nothing can be done without that.

So they decided to Save their pocket money upto five thousand (Rs-5000). Though all could not submit due to poor financial conditions in their personal lives. They even prepared sponsorships proposal and went on presentation to different companies. But sadly there too they could get no relief.
But their determination wasn’t slowed down. Then they went begging at the state’s own Tourism department, which we supposed should be the main department to advertise or promote The Tourism affairs at all levels. But sadly we got a back kick there. The hope was over.

 But the dream was not shatter. We were hopeful that we can do it. We did not know how? But we knew we had to do it. Then on a fine evening one of presentation we got a sponsor. Dr. Hatobin Mai’s Living Dreams Trust. Then came in The Dawnlit Post A English daily from own state.
Dr. Hatobin was impressed by the work and was very responsive at the first meeting. His word of encourage and support and given the team powerful boost.

But then we had only two whose share wasn’t even the quarter.  We were thrash, many elders was perplexed looking at the flyers saying it’s above a crore (I mean one crore Rupees) investment event.
The d-day came nearer our head were spinning had some sleepless nights, Planning, Re-budgeting, Arranging. Students’ participants confirmed their participation. Students from Chandigarh, Harayana, Punjab, Himachal Pradesh, Delhi, and Dehradun were ready to thrown and our work haven’t started yet. We had to provide them free accommodations, free Dinners, free Breakfast.

Adding more to responsibility was Our Chief Guest that was more of high Profile. Hon’ble Member of Parliament and an eminent Bollywood actor Mrs. Kirron Kher and some more other dignitaries. So our pressure was up more again.
And to get acomodatation at kissan bhawan at Chandigarh we had to bribe which they called “Seva-Panni”.

They day came in, our adreline rushed through the veins arranged everything in to-to. And the event was amazing. Chandigarh had an unusual sight when all Arunachalee Students came in their traditional dress. With Head gears, Colourful handmade dress and pretty faces of Arunachal Pradesh.
Chief Guest and other Guest reactions at our programme were so satisfactory. Our team members were so busy at back stage that they were never visible at any snaps of the programme. Sad but nevertheless we dreamt, we did it. At this level without any patronage we made impossible happened. The proud group of YouthNetIndia.

 We were successful in showing our rich tourism potential, rich Cultural Practices. We are the young ambassadors of our state Arunachal Pradesh.
